Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator Jorge Neumann talks about the tech behind MSFS 2020, and some astonishing-sounding features coming in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
It’ll likely be like 2020, you can play offline but it’ll be a much less detailed version of the planet. They pretty much have to use streaming for the high-detail environments, as nobody would have the disk space for it otherwise.
Well I certainly have several hundred GB to spare for a game like this. Why don’t the common folk? You mean not everyone has more than 16tb total storage in their PC nowadays?? Why not??
Seriously though, all that space for activities, it’s liberating, yet somehow I still manage to fill it up quite fast
Edit:
For MSFS 2020 -
In 2020, the initial install is 130 GB. Then we have 17 world updates. If you calculate it up, we’re at 500 GB. And then there are 5,000 add ons that people have made, which I think are two terabytes. So if you really want to get all this stuff, it’s a pretty big install.
Wow I would have to dedicate almost half an entire 4tb drive to 2020… I’m still down for that but I’ll have to shift some stuff around heh…
